Fizzzzle Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Brad pitt is not a good actor and never has been. His most iconic roles have always been "he's Brad pitt." Any time he steps out of his lane he sucks. Sometimes even when he IS in his lane, he still sucks. Like when he played Achilles in Troy. On paper, Brad pitt is the perfect actor to play basically the platonic ideal of a warrior (they should have modeled Achilles after Tyler Durden to an extent, I could write an essay on that), but it turned out like shit. Brad Pitt is good at acting like Brad Pitt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I never even think about this guy. He's a good looking guy and that's all I know about him. Funny you made a thread about him, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but I would argue that his looks are a large of it his character in those movies "look at this absurdly attractive man speak like a dummy" is kind of his deal. it's not his acting ability, it's the fact that you don't expect him to act the way he does.

Brad Pitt is good at acting like Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt is a fantastic character actor who happened to be one of the most handsome people in the world as well as just the circumstances of the industry at the time just happened to be prime for him to become an A-lister. However I've rarely seen him in a role and thought "this is not a good actor." Troy is probably the worst thing I've seen him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to argue that actors aren't attractive -- because almost all of them are. However, I thought he was great in those two movies. And Fight Club and 12 Monkeys. Good in those as well.

best3444 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I think I only seen him in fight club and he was great. I've seen interviews with him too and he seems like a really down to earth kinda guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
